Description
OZRIC TENTACLES REISSUE CLASSIC LIVE ALBUM 'LIVE UNDERSLUNKY' ON DOUBLE VINYL.
"Much more than just a homage to those hippy bands of the 70's; they are actually doing FOR REAL what those bands gave the impression of being but never really were." NME
A raggle-taggle, unpretentious assortment of punk-infused, dreadlocked hippies, since 1983, the Ozric Tentacles wove psychedelic audio-tapestries that captured the almost dangerous musical diversity of the free festival scene, blending acid rock with dub, reggae, ethnic world music & electronic, jazzy experimentation. This was the soundtrack to the herbfragranced, alternative lifestyle that wound its way around country lanes looking for a place to set up & party, away from the psychoses of corporate life.
One of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK's festival scene, the Ozrics layer ambient & ethereal landscapes with freeform dub trips, incredible rave grooves & psychedelic progressive rock. It's an open exploration of music & the soul.
For coming on 40 years, the Ozrics have experienced the vicissitudes of the rock & roll life. The band has flourished through several line-up changes, spawned several side projects, created their own record label, scored a hit record & sold over a million albums world-wide. And yet, the basic motivation behind the band's existence has never wavered.
Originally released in 1992, 'Live Underslunky' features the band's famed skill for jamming as an incredibly tight-knit unit. The recordings on this release have remained untainted by studio embellishments & have an organic & spontaneous feel as the band moved away from relying on sequenced tracks.
'Live Underslunky' is newly remastered by Ed Wynne & available on 2LP via Kscope.

THE CLASSIC LIVE ALBUM FROM A BAND ON THE VERGE OF MAINSTREAM SUCCESS -
NOW ON MID-PRICE CD.
"Much more than just a homage to those hippy bands of the 70's; they are actually doing FOR REAL what those bands gave the impression of being but never really were." NME
One of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK's festival scene, the Ozrics layer ambient & ethereal landscapes with freeform dub trips, incredible rave grooves & psychedelic progressive rock. It's an open exploration of music & the soul.
For over 30 years, the Ozrics have experienced the vicissitudes of the rock & roll life. The band has flourished through several line-up changes, spawned several side projects, created their own record label, scored a hit record & sold over a million albums world-wide. And yet, the basic motivation behind the band's existence has never wavered.
Their signature blend of hippy aesthetics & raver electronics with spiraling guitars, textured waves of keyboard & midi samplers & super-groovy bass & drum rhythms continue to delight fans across the world to this day.
Originally released in 1992, 'Live Underslunky' features the band's famed skill for jamming as an incredibly tight-knit unit, showcasing the band's ability just before the release of 1993's #11 UK National Album Chart smash hit, 'Jurassic Shift'. The recordings on this release have remained untainted by studio embellishments & have an organic & spontaneous feel as the band moved away from relying on sequenced tracks.
This mid-price CD edition of 'Live Underslunky' is presented in a digipack packaging complete with a 4-page booklet featuring sleeve notes.
